Help::Auto-Download

When the slider is in the ON position clicking the download link will download the craft and open the download tab so show you more info

When the slider is in the OFF position clicking the download link will just open the download tab without downloading the craft

erm....why?
Once you've downloaded a craft the slider will automatically move to the OFF position, so you can then open the download tab without re-downloading the craft each time.
If you want to re-download the craft there will be a link in the download tab

It also acts as a visual que to remind you which craft you've already downloaded, if it's in the OFF position (red) you've already downloaded the craft.
As you are not logged in it will only remember what craft you've downloaded in this session.

The Ariane 5 was developed and built in the 1990s as a heavy lifter replacement for highly successful Ariane 4 as well as being able to lift nearly double its payload. It continues to be the heavy lifter backbone of the ESA and has had over 80 successful missions with only 2 partial failures and 2 complete failures. It will continue to operate through 2023 with its eventual replacement by the Ariane 6. The ECA variant includes a small second stage and was built primarily for launching heavy satellites into Geosynchronous Transit Orbit (GTO).

The Aliyana 5B-ECA is an approximation of the Ariane 5 ECA with the biggest difference between this and the Aliyana 5A-ESA being the inclusion of a small second stage. The main engine and boosters are fired together with the boosters being exhausted in the lower upper atmosphere and the main engine continuing the ascent. It is designed to lift payloads of 6-8 tonnes into MKO (Medium Kerbin Orbit) or HKO (High Kerbin Orbit) for pretty much any desired inclination. The second stage may be optional for your mission or could be used to make last-minute orbital changes.

The included payload is a 6.7t experimental satellite meant for either MKO or HKO although the available thrust could probably put it into the orbits of the Mun, Minmus or even Kerbol itself. I recommend that any payload includes its own propulsion so that you can fine-tune your orbit.
